Box and whisker plot of CD4 count by reason for admission.
<p>The distribution of CD4 count at admission shows that all HIV positive admissions with one exception had a median CD4 count below 500 cells/mm<sup>3</sup>. This suggests that boosting the CD4 count of HIV positive patients by starting treatment early and ensuring adherence while on treatment may reduce the frequency and severity of admission.</p

Summary of reasons for admission by HIV status.
<p>This figure presents the top 5 reasons for admission for each HIV status category. All other reasons were collapsed into the other category.* Tuberculosis was the most prevalent reason for admission amongst HIV-positive admissions accounting for 35%. CVD was the single most prevalent reason for admission amongst HIV-negative admissions accounting for 17%, while it only accounted for 4% of all HIV-positive admissions.</p
